Offcanvas is similar to modals except that is often used as a sidebar navigation menu. Offcanvas is a sidebar component that can be toggled via JavaScript to appear from the left, right, or bottom edge of the viewport. Offcanvas shares some of the same JavaScript code as modals. Conceptually, they are quite similar, but they are separate plugins.

Bootstrap Offcanvas Responsive
Responsive offcanvas classes hide content outside the viewport from a specified breakpoint and down.
Above that breakpoint, the contents within will behave as usual.For example, .offcanvas-lg hides content in an offcanvas below the lg breakpoint, but shows the content above the lg breakpoint. Responsive offcanvas classes are available across for each breakpoint. .offcanvas .offcanvas-sm .offcanvas-md .offcanvas-lg .offcanvas-xl .offcanvas-xxl
